Title says it all, in what game do you think you are good? I understand it's impossible to be better than someone else in games like Journey or To The Moon, but I'm talking about 2D fighters, racing games, FPSs, different kind of RPGs, etc.
I like to think I'm fairly decent in World of Tanks and League of Legends.

Well, teenage me was an absolute terror in the first Halo game. My grenade and shotgun skills were a thing to be feared, I drove a mean warthog and was practically unkillable on a ghost. And that was playing on US servers with my 300+ Australia ping. Then I figured out how to find the Aus servers. I remember it actually making me worse for a while because I was so used to having to lead targets to account for latency. Then I adjusted and recommenced with the wholesale wrecking of shit.

These days I'm pretty decent at Smite. (Third person MOBA.) I play a lethal and hard to kill adc Neith. Also an annoying and surprisingly damaging brawler Athena.

I'd say I'm good at Gothic 3. The combat system, once patched, is very hard to get to grips with, but I'm fair at it. Gothic 3 is more or less my game that I love that everyone else hates. We all have one of those. So yeah, I'd guess that. I'm also pretty fair at Mount & Blade: Warband multiplayer. I've put many hundreds of hours into its online and have become quite a competent cavalry, while I can hold my own as an infantry (no shield, of course).

Ummm, Megaman X maybe?
I never thought anything of it, but one day my friend goes off watching me play, saying the way I basically do that hop skip thing DBZ characters do across impossibly large distances across the screen is NOT a normal way to play or something.
I'unno, he might be on to something. I routinely finish those games with a wealth of extra lives and rarely die.

EDIT: Oh, rhythm games. I am the fucking bomb at those.

Bad Company 2. I'm seriously good at that game. Almost always get scores of 6000+ per match and 40+ kills with 5 or less deaths and the Ace patch.

I'm also quite good at Gears of War 3.

I'm good at Total War generally (apart from Shogun 2 which I couldn't get into). I don't so much go for multiplayer with the newer ones (though I'm a decent Blitzkrieger on AI campaign in all of them), but back in the days of Rome 1 and Medieval 2 I was horrifically unfair on online opponents.
Destroying my own walls to kill enemy siege towers, emphatically unfair bridge strategies, missile cav spam, hoplite spam, elephant routing strategies, nasty emplaced stakes, stupidly unfair army placement - basically every underhanded, exploitative, and generally deceitful strategy in existence. Worked though.

Bit of a weird one: I'm generally poor-to-average on FPS, but I got obsessively good with the Goldeneye remake on the Wii.
I was saving for a gaming PC at the time, and got to the point where I'd usually score 4-1 KD ratios against similarly levelled players, and utterly dominate lower level teams. And that was using the wiimote rather than a controller.

Pokémon.

I have never lost a match played against my friends (who have also been playing competitively for years) and my W/L online is always pretty solid, and that's smogon rules where everybody uses Scizor / Dragonite / DrizzleToed and I'm sitting there with an Umbreon because I can.

Moderately good at Dark Souls. Might be the only game I'm real specialized in.
Competent at most FPS games.
I'm slowly becoming decent at RTS games.

The problem is for games with resource management, I tend to use the same strategy (conserving resources). So it's hard to judge which game is good for that strategy.

Ok at Bullet Hell games.
Bad at rhythm and dance games.

I think I've perfected stealth games at the very least. I managed to do 40% of the VR missions in MGS2 Substance.

After 100+ hours in it I reckon I'm ok at Binding of Isaac.

Not good mind you, just ok.
Same, after 400+ hours, I still think I'm just ok.

Gears of War 3 although in Gears of War 1 I could kill the entire team with shotgun from time to time, now in the third one I rely more on teamwork and location usually trying to push the enemy team into a spot where they cant defend well to then use the machine gun to take them out.

Gears of War 3 is really good for flanking tactics, its basicly one of few games where I actually flanking the enemy brings a huge advantage over simply shooting on sight, most of the times players know where the enemy is but since they have a good amount of health you cant just shoot at him since he will get behind some cover and regenerate.

Back in the day I was pretty good at Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur 2 these days I am pretty rusty though (my friend stopped playing so I lost my favourite competition and drive to keep improving).

I would say I was also decent at the K-on game on the PSP but I guess thats what happens after more than 999 hours played but I havent played in a while so I reckon I am pretty rusty again now.

I would also say I am good at Street Fighter 2 turbo definitely not exceptional but good I have a pretty solid understanding of the game and am pretty comfortable with all characters.

Well, I've been playing Spelunky pretty extensively for the last week or so, and a couple of days ago, I finally had a breakthrough: I had been totally getting my ass handed to me in the Jungle area constantly, but after playing only that zone over and over again for a couple of hours, I reached the point where I could own it pretty consistently. The mines, frozen caves and temple have never given me any problems, so once I reached the point where I could reliably pass through the jungle, I was at a place where I could reach Olmec seven or eight times out of ten. I have yet to actually beat him, but hell, I can give him a pretty good run. I've been watching videos of other people playing, and, though I thought I was mediocre (at best) at the game, it actually looks like I'm pretty decent at it, at least compared to them.

I still want to beat Olmec, though. I had a surefire Hell run going earlier, but ran out of bombs while fighting Olmec, and made a silly mistake while trying to get him to break through the last row of bricks by himself and ended up crushed. I'll get him yet, though.

I'm damn good at Dark Souls PvE, but after 600+ hours it makes sense.
Depending on the latency, I range from crap to decent at PvP.

My friend sometimes makes a comment about some game he thinks I'm good at, but I never see it. So yeah, IMO I don't stand out in any game that I can think of.
I do have a knack for out of the box thinking that sometimes really ends up abusing certain ingame rules.

I guess I'm also alright at sniping in general. I was doing really well on Sniper: Ghost Warrior on highest difficulty, till I hit a non-sniping level and was utterly brought to my knees.

I like to think I can hold my own in a game of Smash Brothers. I don't play in tournaments or anything like that, but only a couple of my friends can rival me when I'm in the zone. When I'm playing as this guy [http://www.smashbros.com/en-au/characters/luigi.html]? Watch out.

im a fierce solider in team fortress 2 playing yesterday i had a k/d ratio of 5 to 1 with two flag captures in two rounds in 2fort then the teams were scrambled, i still played good afterward just not that good.

as for the other classes im OK as pyro medic demo sniper and scout (in order from best to worst). straight average as heavy and engi and just plain bad as spy.

in all other fps im almost always slightly above average.

I used to be an excellent Spy in Team Fortress 2, but I quit the game a few years ago as the hat simulation got out of control.

Currently I'm a tankdriver in battlefield 3 and I'm very much enjoying blasting people to bits, usually getting the Top Vehicle score for the match.

I can play most FPS games like few can but there is no hope for me in RTS.

Sniper rifle is best gun.

It's hard for me to judge these days as I don't play multiplayer anymore. Back in the day I was a pretty good at console FPS's and FIFA - even won a college tournament for that. Stopped playing soon after though. I like to think I'm pretty decent at third person shooters, I usually play on hard difficulty from the beginning.
